Before having a child that eats solids, I had this image of raising a kid with a sophisticated palate, who wasn't fussy and ate only fresh, healthy, home cooked foods. Now, I'm seeing that this may not be realistic. E can be pretty fussy. Basically, she likes fruit (if in season = sweet) and carbs. Great. I have yet to see her really take to eating meat and her favourite vegetable are mushrooms (which aren't even vegetables). She seems to have some sort of innate sense that she really wants any junk food we happen to be eating. Maybe it's the crinkle of the bag, but she's persistent like The Terminator when we have chips. Now, the word "cookie" has become synonymous with "I want some!" #parentingfail

So, I want to try to find baked recipes that are healthier so that she'll at least consume something on her fussier days. This recipe comes from Weelicious, a site that is tailored to feeding your kids at various ages.

Since we refer to family members, here's a key to clarify who's who

R - Psychgrad's hubby. Is the cook responsible for many of the recipes but usually does not post himself (unless it is to complain about our food obsession or share a dish that he loves -- usually poutine).

Baby E- future blogger. Currently in training but ends up with more food on her and the floor than in her mouth.
